In addition to this, if the Entrant chooses to gift his or her tickets to another person, CFC, also through its secure online order entry system, collects the following information about the Gift Recipient: name, address, e-mail address, and phone number. This personally identifiable information is used, if asked to do so by the Entrant, to inform the Gift Recipient of the Entrant's gift and to conduct the raffle.

Furthermore, with regard to the Winner of the Raffle, the Entrant, and by acceptance of the gift, the Gift Recipient, pursuant the Official Rules, grant CFC, the Prize Sponsors and their agents permission, without further notice or compensation, to use the Entrant's name and or likeness for purposes of advertising and trade. In addition to this, CFC is also required to provide the Winner's information to the State and local authorities from which CFC received its permit to conduct the Raffle, and to Federal and State taxing authorities.
